Who said that organizing products have to just be functional?  Not guest author and Pro Organizer, Jeri Dansky!  Check out these fab and interesting products that she’s found…

Organizing products are available all over the place — including dollar stores, Goodwill and other thrift stores, and large chain stores such as Target, Home Depot, Staples and The Container Store.

But sometimes you want something special, something unique — something that will inspire you to stay organized. Here are just a few examples of such products — some of my latest finds.

1. Baskets from Heart of Alamor

Baskets come in a huge range of styles, shapes and sizes. Debbie Norton’s has been in the basket business since 1976,and her pine needle baskets look stunning.

2. Knitted Felt Bowls from Home Woolens

Lots of people are making lovely felted bowls nowadays; they can be useful for storing all sorts of odds and ends. This is one of my recent favorites.

3. Address books from Rag & Bone Bindery

While many people are keeping addresses and phone numbers on their computers and cell phones, some people still prefer a paper address book. Rag & Bone Bindery, based in Rhode Island, provide handcrafted books that would be a pleasure to use.

4. Pencil box from Strong Arm Bindery

This lovely box could also be used to store jewelry.

5. OneLessFile from Heckler Design

Want an absolutely stunning hanging file holder for your floor or desktop? Take a look at this one, available in five standard colors — and custom colors, too. Personally, I love the buttercup — so cheerful!

6. Leash Hooks from These Creatures

You can get 2-hook or 3-hook designs — and of course these could hold more than just leashes! They’re also sold by Red Sail.

7. Ballerina Memory Board from Betty

Here’s a  ribbon board that could be perfect for the right little girl — or perhaps someone not so little!

You’re not going crazy.  There were 8 products profiled, however, the final item was removed today at the request of the maker. The good news is that there are lots of interesting products that can help you maintain order.  If you’re looking for something in particular, let us know.  -Deb, 7.30.10
